Price AssessmentsPrice Watch™ provides clarity on how raw material prices are assessed across global markets. Through transparent methodologies and objective market inputs, we capture real-time market movements across a wide range of raw materials. Our assessments help market participants cut through complexity, understand price movements, and act with confidence across interconnected supply chains.
Transparent
Price Watch™ assessments follow clearly defined methodologies. Price formation, inputs considered, and assessment processes are openly described to ensure clarity and consistency.
Market-driven
Price Watch™ price assessments are centred on verifiable market activity. We prioritise real trades, firm bids and offers, and validated market indications over assumptions or theoretical pricing.
Independent
Price Watch™ operates with full editorial independence. Assessments are produced without commercial influence, ensuring prices reflect market reality rather than market interest.
India-Based
India sits at a critical intersection of global raw material supply, processing, and consumption. Being India-based gives us proximity to key markets while maintaining relevance across international trade flows.
Price Watch™ assesses raw materials across multiple stages of their value chains, from upstream feedstocks and intermediates to downstream and application-specific products. This integrated approach enables a clear view of cost transmission, competitive positioning, and substitution dynamics at each stage, helping clients understand how price movements propagate across the value chain and impact overall portfolio performance.
Across value chains, raw materials represent 50–75% of overall product cost.
We assess prices at the feedstock and primary-input level, providing clarity before costs transmit across the value chain. Raw materials reflect supply constraints, energy exposure, and trade dynamics earlier than any downstream market.
Price Watch™ lets you track raw material prices within a single category and across categories, to understand how costs move, interact, and substitute across value chains. This cross-category visibility reveals linkages, competitive pressures, and cost shifts.
This approach ensures continuity between raw materials, intermediates, and finished inputs, reflecting how markets function in reality.
At Price Watch™, forecasting is built on seamless integration where AI delivers high-frequency data processing, large-scale pattern recognition, quantitative scenario modeling, and cross-market consistency, while analysts contribute market context, commercial reality checks, strategic interpretation, and cross-commodity intelligence. Together, this human-machine approach produces forecasts that are both computationally rigorous and firmly grounded in real-world market dynamics.
Analysts feed the intelligence
Our market analysts continuously provide curated data inputs to our AI system
Analysts interpret the context
Our analysts then validate AI outputs against on-ground intelligence, producer sentiment, and behavioral dynamics, separating noise from structural change.
AI processes the signals
Machine learning models analyze these inputs in real-time, detecting patterns and anomalies invisible to conventional analysis.
Price Watch™ delivers Market-Specific Raw Material Price Assessments with the core objective of providing clarity on what is actually happening in the market. Prices reflect the specific region and local trading conditions in which material moves, along with the exact grade, specification, and application being transacted.
This approach ensures price assessments mirror how and where transactions actually occur, eliminating proxy pricing and delivering values that accurately reflect true regional and product-specific market dynamics.
Our price assessment methodologies have been designed in alignment with IOSCO principles for Price Reporting Agencies.

Traditional Price Reporting Agencies lock critical raw material pricing behind archaic, multi-thousand-dollar annual contracts, bloated PDF reports, and aging Eurocentric office networks built decades ago.
Price Watch™ is built for the modern global economy, scaling across the world’s most dynamic manufacturing corridors by combining elite data science talent with deep regional roots.
Price Watch™ spans everything from core macro-commodities such as energy and steel to high-growth niche categories such as elastomers, advanced polymers, rare earths, and specialized fertilizers.
By eliminating the financial overhead and blind spots of legacy Price Reporting Agencies, Price Watch™ delivers precise real-time spot pricing and redefines how global raw material intelligence is built, delivered, and consumed.
As an alternative to legacy Price Reporting Agencies, Price Watch™ addresses fragmented subscription models that force organizations to purchase single-sector services, often placing unnecessary strain on IT and procurement budgets.
Price Watch™ consolidates multi-sector raw material intelligence into a single, modular subscription structure, providing broader market coverage on both a per-product and total information-budget basis at a fraction of the cost.
This enables companies to simplify procurement, reduce information costs, and optimize their entire raw-material intelligence spend.
Procurement teams are usually forced to drain capital across five or six different niche Price Reporting Agencies just to cover chemicals, metals, and polymers.
Price Watch™ shatters this fragmented vendor model by unifying cross-industry commodities into a single pricing dashboard and command centre.
It ends the multi-vendor subscription cost, allowing organizations to monitor their entire raw material complex through one login.
Traditional Price Reporting Agencies put limited focus on fast-growing specialized markets while focusing extensively on macro-commodities such as crude oil or bulk steel.
Price Watch™ bridges this critical market gap by operating as an advanced gap-filling Price Reporting Agency.
It delivers high-frequency price assessments and primary manufacturer surveys for high-growth sectors that legacy agencies completely overlook, including construction chemicals, advanced polymers, elastomers, and critical rare earth elements.
In the modern industrial enterprise, sustainable competitive advantage is rooted in operational efficiency and intelligent capital allocation.
Continuing to absorb the inflated costs of legacy Price Reporting Agencies while receiving siloed, static, and delayed data defies basic business logic.
Price Watch™ delivers superior, cross-category intelligence, real-time API integration, and broader market coverage at a fraction of the cost, ensuring organizations invest in high-performance market visibility rather than funding legacy overhead.
